FLINT, MI -- A 26-year-old man is in custody following the death of a woman Sunday, Jan. 26 in the 2500 block of Brunswick Avenue, according to police.

Police were called around 4:30 a.m. to Brunswick Avenue for a person down on the ground.

Paramedics at the scene found the woman unresponsive and declared her dead at the scene, with a cut to the throat from a knife or blunt object.

A description of a potential suspect vehicle was sent out and Michigan State Police troopers apprehended the man a short time later. The victim's age and not have not yet been released by police.

The homicide is the second one of 2014, following the Jan. 11 shooting death of 21-year-old Dericko D. Carter following an argument at the Z Club on Dort Highway near Lippincott Boulevard and shots fired into Carter's vehicle from a dark-colored sedan, described as potentially a Pontiac Grand Prix.

Flint had not seen a homicide since Nov. 22, 2013 before Carter's death, mourned by family and friends during a Jan. 17 vigil, ending the year with 52 homicides. Anyone with information about Sunday's homicide may contact Flint police Det. Jason Cate at 810-237-6940.
